This photo was taken on Sunday - the day we came back from camping, and two days after Drew burned his hands. All weekend, we were commenting at how resilient this kid was, but when we saw him grasping those blocks with only his thumbs and a slippery glove... we were amazed.Of course when he'd drop them, or couldn't maneuver them into the corresponding shape, he'd get ticked. So ticked, that after about 3-rounds of shapes, we had to put the cube "nigh-night".
This is only one of the many things that Drew's doing with his hands that I wouldn't have imagined - he's also eating, attempting to hold his sippy cups (sometimes successfully), and climbing up and down things.
Thursday morning he woke up around 5:30am screaming - after some consoling and trying to get him to use his words, we determined his poor hands were itchy. I think that's a sign of healing - which is good. It's just so tough to explain to him why we can't take off his "gloves".
Wonder who he gets his independence from :) We are so happy he is doing so much better. Hopefully his itchy hands will be better soon.
ReplyDeleteOur poor baby boy. One thing though, kids are resilent. Hope he gets better real soon!!!
